TORONTO, Nov. 23,
2024 /CNW/ - This holiday season, the Electronic
Recycling Association (ERA) is spreading the spirit of giving with
its annual 12 Days of Electronic Giving campaign. Aiming to
donate over 200 electronic devices to charities across Canada, ERA is committed to empowering
organizations to deliver critical services to their
communities.
However, the demand for electronics remains pressing. More than
500 charities are still on ERA's waitlist—a number that highlights
the urgent need for public and corporate donations of pre-loved
technology.
"Together, We Can Create Impact"
Bojan Paduh, Founder and President
of ERA, urges individuals and businesses to step up this holiday
season:
"We've accomplished so much, but hundreds of charities are still
waiting for essential technology to continue their work. I
encourage everyone to consider donating their unused laptops,
tablets, or cell phones. Your generosity can transform lives and
reduce e-waste at the same time."
ERA's 12 Days of Electronic Giving campaign is
already making an impact, supporting a wide range of organizations
across the country, including:
- Children's Autism Services of Edmonton – Edmonton, AB
- Winnipeg Humane Society – Winnipeg, MB
- Bent Arrow Traditional Healing Society –
Edmonton, AB
- Canadian Mental Health Association – Toronto, ON
- York Region Educational Services – Toronto, ON
- It Takes a Village Community Outreach and
Advocacy – Halifax,
